I know bacon, sausage, ham, (and Taylor Ham if you're from Jersey like me) are the standard breakfast sandwich meats, but try the pastrami! Poppy bagel, 2 eggs included, cheese, and some pastrami brings back my east coast state of mind. The midtown sandwich is also a great option. I know a lot of Southerners don't care for the greatness of a bagel, they prefer their biscuits and that's all well and good. But wow, NYBC does a wonderful job of representing the area where I grew up.

She gave me the run down on the stuffed French toast, so I just had to have it. It was seriously delicious! It might just be up there with the Empire State for me. Their Pastrami is just that good. As for the Fire Island, it's perfect for you if you like a kick. The chicken was moist and flavorful. Everything worked well on the sandwich, it can just be a much for breakfast sometimes. Though, you are allowed to make you needed modifications. Maybe a different bagel would lighten things a bit. Overall, this is a much try for Chesapeake. It provides a cute, calm spot to grab something to go or dine in if you are up for it.

So expect a bit of a wait on some days (especially weekends). They have a very generous delivery area, which is great for anyone who doesn't have time to run in and wait for an order. The hubs likes the meatball sub. We both like the Philly (chicken or steak). I recently caught on to the fact that they have good burgers, so it's been a go-to as of late. But I also tried the Grilled Pastrami & Swiss on Rye, which is simple yet really freaking tasty (the butteriness of the rye bread is sooooo good). We sometimes share some steak fries with cheese, but we ALWAYS get a couple of cookies. They're fresh and fabulous! There's a reason this spot has been around literally my entire life. If you're a Chesapeakean, you know why. If you're new here, ya gotta go and find out why.

They serve all kinds of hot dogs and sides, even shakes and sandwiches. I ordered their ruff skin dogs (gives you that crunchy bite (all beef) and side of onion rings. You can order sauerkraut, mustard to come with your hotdog or their house sauce and ketchup are just fine condiments. You definitely know their onion rings are not frozen, made from scratch since you get the tip part of the sweet onion as well. I would have liked the batter to be a tad crunchier and with more texture but overall good.

A dinner at Court House Cafe in the Great Bridge section of Chesapeake is a reminder of why certain…read morelocal institutions endure. Consistency--both in the kitchen and in the dining room--has made this longtime favorite a reliable choice for those who value substance over flash. The service reflects that same steadiness. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable without being overbearing--always ready with thoughtful suggestions for anyone navigating the menu. I began with the garden salad, a straightforward but well-executed mix of fresh greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and sweet Vidalia onions, finished with housemade croutons and a balanced balsamic vinaigrette. It's a simple dish done right, which sets the tone for what follows. The she-crab soup--an award-winning staple--delivers exactly what you hope for in a classic rendition. Rich, velvety, and deeply satisfying, it's best enjoyed in a cup unless you plan on making it the centerpiece of your meal. For the entrée, the French Dip stands out as a clear highlight. Built on a soft roll and filled with thinly sliced prime rib--slow-roasted to achieve both tenderness and depth of flavor--it's served with a properly seasoned au jus that brings the entire sandwich together. It's a dish that leans on quality ingredients and careful execution rather than unnecessary embellishment, and it succeeds because of it. Court House Café continues to earn its reputation the right way: consistent food, thoughtful service, and an atmosphere that feels rooted in the community it serves. In a dining landscape often chasing trends, this is a place that understands the value of doing the fundamentals exceptionally well--and doing them every time.

Court House Cafe's reuben is THE best reuben sandwich I've ever had. The pastrami is tender and doesn't get caught up in between your teeth like other places and just enough sauerkraut to not be overbearing. The steak fries are always hot and crisp. My only gripe is that I prefer Heinz ketchup with my fries which they do not have. The service is always top notch and the girls there are always friendly. My drink was never empty. Now, wait times may vary but it is worth the wait.

Dive bar vibe with subpar service and ok food. I came on the weekend and I guess I was expecting a…read morerestaurant instead of a bar. The bar was definitely catering to regulars and most of the patrons look like they are there daily for their drinks. The bartenders and waitstaff are mainly made of good looking girls that are the main draw to regulars. There were enough TVs available to appease sports fans and there were some gaming machines on the other side of the bar. There is outdoor seating and I think it is mainly for smokers. The seating was mainly bar seating with a few available bench type tables. The actual reason why I came here was for the pork chops that I saw on the online menu which were unfortunately not available at this restaurant as the menu was changed recently. I ordered the fried cheese curds and a burger with a salad. The food was only ok and nothing to write home about. Service was mainly for the regulars as they were drinking more which added to their tabs. I ate my food and I was out of there, pretty disappointed. The bathrooms were kind of gross as well but I guess normal for a bar. I definitely don't recommend it here if you want to have a nice dinner. It's ok if you want to look at pretty girls while having some drinks and bar food.

The restaurant is quaint. The staff is friendly and welcoming. From the guest in our party: The Fried Flounder was DELICIOUS!! On and off the sandwich. Perfectly seasoned and fried to perfection. The Yardbird sandwich was pretty good as well. The jambalaya on the other hand not so much (the chicken was hard). The fries were delicious as well.
